This is not just any #salad . I do not take eating salads for granted. For the first 1.5 years after finding out I had #crohns I was utterly repulsed by raw veggies. I could barely sit next to someone eating them. I was all about cooked and mushy foods for healing. #babyfood as some may call it.

I remember the day my boyfriend at the time was eating a salad and I wanted a bite. This wasn't just some small desire. It was my body ravishingly telling me it was ready for raw!! And I devoured it!! .
I know I'm not alone. Raw veggies are difficult to digest for people who have #ibd#leakygut#sibo#diverticulitis#ibs .
HERE IS A TIP: Eat a spoonful or two of #sauerkraut with your salad. The bacteria in the kraut will help your body break down the fiber in the raw veggies. Plus, once you eat kraut on salads you'll never have one again without it!!
